Your questions about garage roof removal in Falconwood
Do older homes in Falconwood have asbestos?
Any home in Falconwood built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Welling station?
Yes, we cover Falconwood and the area towards Welling station, about 0.5 miles north-east.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we’re set up.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How we price garage roof removal
When we quote, we look at:
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Falconwood
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Sheet garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Old, cracked sheets
For rented homes with garages close to Welling station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- If the price includes VAT
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
